Whacking Dead brings the classic arcade whack-a-mole experience back to life—with a terrifying twist! Instead of moles, hordes of zombies rise from the ground, each with unique types and abilities.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whacking Dead at none against Serious Scramblers's 2. Whacking Dead also leads on ads (none vs shown). Serious Scramblers's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
